[opensuse] openSUSE 11.0 - differences in when you join a Windows Adtive Directory?
When installing openSUSE 11.0, you are offered a choice to have users authenticated against a Windows AD. If you select not to do so during the install, will the system be set up to do so when, laser in Yast, you join a Windows AD? Is there any downside to waiting for later to join the AD? Something that is only done when this is enabled during install? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

It is like talking about large city with all constructions finished. Not impossible, but very unlikely. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Only ever tried this in 10.2. When you do not join the AD at installation and choose local auth, all users will be placed in /home/<user>. When you then later join AD and make your default auth AD (NOTE: this is two separate things in Linux, not like on Windows), users will be in /home/<domain>/<user>. Moving users to the new location did not work for me? to many badly written scripts assumed /home/<user>. (this could be different in 11.0?)

Same in 11.0. I think it is this way because the same user name can exist in different Windows domains. But this was not the difference I meant. I just was curious if joining the Windows domain after install was in any way different from joining it during install. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
